Sue Selah - Reason CD
Selah Sue is a singer-songwriter from Belgium who shot out of nowhere in 2011 with her shockingly good (perfect, really) and accomplished debut album, simply called "Selah Sue", when she was all of 21 years old. The debut album provided a perfect mix of pop, soul, reggae and a few other spices. Over time, it sounded like a greatest hits album on its own, and it became a multi-smash hit in many European markets. The album went criminally overlooked in the US. After endless touring and wondering how she could follow up after making the perfect debut album, now 4 years later we get the highly anticipated sophomore album.

A Promised Land
A riveting, deeply personal account of history in the making-from the president who inspired us to believe in the power of democracy.
In the stirring, highly anticipated first volume of his presidential memoirs, Barack Obama tells the story of his improbable odyssey from young man searching for his identity to leader of the free world, describing in strikingly personal detail both his political education and the landmark moments of the first term of his historic presidency-a time of dramatic transformation and turmoil.
Obama takes readers on a compelling journey from his earliest political aspirations to the pivotal Iowa caucus victory that demonstrated the power of grassroots activism to the watershed night of November 4, 2008, when he was elected 44th president of the United States, becoming the first African American to hold the nation's highest office.
Reflecting on the presidency, he offers a unique and thoughtful exploration of both the awesome reach and the limits of presidential power, as well as singular insights into the dynamics of U.S. partisan politics and international diplomacy. Obama brings readers inside the Oval Office and the White House Situation Room, and to Moscow, Cairo, Beijing, and points beyond. We are privy to his thoughts as he assembles his cabinet, wrestles with a global financial crisis, takes the measure of Vladimir Putin, overcomes seemingly insurmountable odds to secure passage of the Affordable Care Act, clashes with generals about U.S. strategy in Afghanistan, tackles Wall Street reform, responds to the devastating Deepwater Horizon blowout, and authorizes Operation Neptune's Spear, which leads to the death of Osama bin Laden.
A Promised Land is extraordinarily intimate and introspective-the story of one man's bet with history, the faith of a community organizer tested on the world stage. Obama is candid about the balancing act of running for office as a Black American, bearing the expectations of a generation buoyed by messages of `hope and change,` and meeting the moral challenges of high-stakes decision-making. He is frank about the forces that opposed him at home and abroad, open about how living in the White House affected his wife and daughters, and unafraid to reveal self-doubt and disappointment. Yet he never wavers from his belief that inside the great, ongoing American experiment, progress is always possible.
This beautifully written and powerful book captures Barack Obama's conviction that democracy is not a gift from on high but something founded on empathy and common understanding and built together, day by day.

Rodrigo Olivia - Guts CD
Olivia Isabel Rodrigo (narodená 20. februára 2003) je americká speváčka, skladateľka a herečka. Koncom roku 2010 si získala uznanie svojimi hlavnými úlohami v televíznych programoch Disney Bizaardvark a High School Musical: The Musical: The Series. Po podpise zmluvy s Geffen a Interscope Records v roku 2020 vydala Rodrigo svoj debutový singel „Drivers License“, ktorý prekonal rôzne rekordy a stal sa jednou z najpredávanejších skladieb roku 2021, čo ju posunulo k mainstreamovej sláve. Nasledovala singlami „Deja Vu“ a „Good 4 U“ a vydala svoj debutový sólový štúdiový album Sour (2021), ktorý sa stretol s kritickým a komerčným úspechom a získal rôzne ocenenia vrátane troch cien Grammy.
Nový album GUTS sa ponorí do sféry osobného rastu a sebaobjavovania. Podľa samotnej Olivie táto hudobná tvorba zahŕňa výzvy a neistoty, ktoré vznikajú počas prechodnej fázy života. Vo veku 18 až 20 rokov prešla Olivia hlbokou transformáciou a zažila emocionálne dozrievanie v hodnote desaťročia. Tieto roky boli poznačené intenzívnou nemotornosťou a kolotočom zmien. Takéto chvíle nepohody a evolúcie sú však prirodzenou súčasťou procesu rastu a cieľom tohto albumu je autenticky zachytiť túto podstatu. Olivii pri produkcii nového albumu GUTS pomáhal Daniel Nigro, ktorý s ňou spolupracoval aj na SOUR.

Range
A powerful argument for how to succeed in any field: develop broad interests and skills while everyone around you is rushing to specialize.
From the '10,000 hours rule' to the power of Tiger parenting, we have been taught that success in any field requires early specialization and many hours of deliberate practice. And, worse, that if you dabble or delay, you'll never catch up with those who got a head start.
This is completely wrong.
In this landmark book, David Epstein shows you that the way to succeed is by sampling widely, gaining a breadth of experiences, taking detours, experimenting relentlessly, juggling many interests - in other words, by developing range.
Studying the world's most successful athletes, artists, musicians, inventors and scientists, Epstein demonstrates why in most fields - especially those that are complex and unpredictable - generalists, not specialists are primed to excel. No matter what you do, where you are in life, whether you are a teacher, student, scientist, business analyst, parent, job hunter, retiree, you will see the world differently after you've read Range. You'll understand better how we solve problems, how we learn and how we succeed. You'll see why failing a test is the best way to learn and why frequent quitters end up with the most fulfilling careers.
As experts silo themselves further while computers master more of the skills once reserved for highly focused humans, Range shows how people who think broadly and embrace diverse experiences and perspectives will increasingly thrive and why spreading your knowledge across multiple domains is the key to your success, and how to achieve it.
